About MeAttracted by the strong Mediterranean light, La Thangue visited Provence and Liguria regularly in the 1890s and gained a new freedom in the vigour of his brushwork and his vivid use of colour. He abandoned all references to storytelling in his work and here only the title of the work gives any indication of the origins of his very beautiful subject.
